Bayern Munich will take on Mainz in a round of 16 clash in the DFB-Pokal at the Mewa Arena on Wednesday evening.
The hosts head into this fixture on the back of a smashing 5-2 win over Bochum in the Bundesliga. The win should give them the much-needed confidence before taking on the German heavyweights in front of their own fans.
Bayern have not had a fluent start since their return to competitive action after the World Cup break as they succumbed to their third successive draw after they were held 1-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt in their last outing in the Bundesliga.
Their lead at the top of the table has been cut to just a point and Julian Nagelsmann will be expecting to see a positive response from his side in the cup tie.
